Mining through a VPN

[forkbomb]

Hey, I was wondering if mining using a VPN is useless or can be done. (not a VPS, i mean something like PIA, nordVPN,..)
Is it useful or not, in your opinion?
Does it slow down your connection, or make any kind of problem with the mining process?

I did this a while ago using NordVPN. Did not have to deal with rejected shares back then. Must have been lucky. Your mileage may vary. Just try it out and let us know.

mining dont need much connection, you can test with a high spped vpn like Kickass etc and tell us the result

if this vpn will only be used for mining (and there is a reason to use a vpn instead of just using the network connection already available) aim for low latency ones, not necessarily the fastest one.

It was just a thing that came to my mind and I wanted to understand better, thanks!
So far, I don't see the need to use a vpn only for mining purposes either, but I'll try this out just for curiosity. When I have some consistent results I'll share.
